Reshetova working for Internews Ukraine

Olga Reshetova (MPP '12) is now working for Internews Ukraine as a grant manager. She writes:

"During the last year I have been working as a Grant Manager, overseeing all fundraising for Internews Ukraine: http://internews.ua/, one of the largest Ukrainian NGOs working to support empowered, independent and pluralistic media. Our mission is "to support European values in Ukraine through development of successful media. We are working on a quite diverse range of topics, important for the country, including, promotion of European values, improvement of journalism standards and media legislation, protection of media freedom and support to media independence, but, during the time I've been working here, we have been most focusing on resisting detrimental information influences and building people's capacity to recognize and resist Russian propaganda as well as support to internally displaced persons and conflict-affected communities."
